Discipline Summaries
June 17, 2016 PAUL RAYMOND TURLEY [#177777], 50, of Oakland, was suspended from the practice of law for 90 days and placed on probation for three years. He must pass the MPRE and attend a session of the Ethics and Client Trust Accounting program. The order took effect June 17, 2016. Turley stipulated that he falsely reported under penalty of perjury that he had complied with MCLE requirements. That act involved moral turpitude, dishonesty or corruption. Also, during an earlier period when he was on ineligible status due to MCLE noncompliance, Turley filed a motion on behalf of a client in Alameda County Superior Court. That constituted the practice of law when he was not entitled to do so.Also, in 2015 Turley twice overdrew his client trust account to pay personal expenses. And in 2009, Turley failed to file a personal injury lawsuit on behalf of a client within the statute of limitations. He promised to pay the client $12,000 to rectify the mistake, but has paid only $7,500.In aggravation, he committed six acts of misconduct over a four-year period. In mitigation, he has made efforts to atone for his filing error in the personal injury lawsuit matter, and he had no prior discipline. He went through a difficult separation and child custody battle, during which he moved out of the family home and lived in his office. His mother’s declining health required sudden, urgent trips to Los Angeles to help his father. He is seeking treatment for alcohol dependence and depression and has provided letters from attorneys and friends attesting to his good character. |
